I'm A Baller - Chapter 154
Chapter 154: So Cool
“Little Wang, you’re in luck…”
Li Zewen smiled as soon as he entered the room, looking exceptionally happy.
“How did go?”
Wang Yan did not understand the situation, but it was always right to laugh along.
“Our manager happened to be reporting to the head of the logistics department. When he heard about your situation, the logistics manager made the decision on the spot and decided to immediately relax the restrictions on air-conditioning installation…
“Actually, this matter was originally very difficult to settle with 50,000 yuan, but you came in the right time. You’re a lucky guy!
“All the students in building 111 and Building 112 should thank you for it!
“Of course, it might take some time to complete the specific procedures. Your current situation is special, so it’s best to keep a low profile while you get the AC installed.”
Li Zewen was vague about it, but Wang Yan understood the meaning behind his words.
On one hand, the school was indeed facing enormous pressure from the students. The summer of Star City, without air-conditioning, was simply too hot. Therefore, students were cursing the school for not providing air-conditioning on the forum every day.
On the other hand, Wang Yan’s actions made the logistics supervisor see the huge benefits in AC installation, so he might as well follow the trend and see how much money they could get from it.
Therefore, everyone should thank Director Wang. Logically speaking, it was true.
There might be students blocking the entrance of the dormitory with a banner and shouting, “Congratulations, Director Wang, for solving the air conditioner problem for us” !
Eh, so stupid…
Wang Yan shook his head and smiled without batting an eyelid. “There’s no need to thank me. I really can’t stand the stuffiness in the dormitory. I feel like I can’t even breathe.”
Li Zewen knew very well the situation in the dormitory, so he sighed in sympathy.
“Indeed, the summer in Star City is a little difficult. When I was a student, I was so annoyed that I wanted to hit the f*cking wall every day. Everyone stayed up until three in the morning because we couldn’t fall asleep in the heat…
“At that time, we brought ice upstairs from outside every day, but it was useless. It melted in a moment…
“You’re really generous with money. Actually, in another half a month, it won’t be so hot anymore… But with an AC in the room, it be more comfortable in winter, too… Haha! I’ve talked too much!”
Wang Yan smiled and didn’t say anything.
He thought to himself, it’s just half a day’s breathing wages for me. If I can exchange it for a week’s comfort, it would be worth it, okay?
Without air conditioning, I, a dignified tycoon, would be turned into salted fish jerky in my own dormitory. Are you kidding me? !
With the military training about to begin, how miserable I would be without AC? I just can’t imagine it.
Li Zewen did not understand the god-like tycoon Wang’s thoughts, but he took the money quickly. He immediately pulled out a standard donation form from his desk.
Wang Yan picked up a pen and asked casually as he filled in the form.
“Brother Li, I heard that our school doesn’t allow freshmen to live outside of the campus, right?”
Li Zewen nodded. “Indeed, it doesn’t, and the management is very strict with this rule. If you’re not here during the night check-up, you’ll lose points for the first time, get demerits for the second time and your parents will be informed for the third time. Every year, there are unlucky people who failed to go up to the next grade because of this.”
Wang Yan stopped writing and raised his head.
“But Brother Li, my family may come to visit me from time to time, and it’s not very convenient for them to stay in a hotel. I may soon buy a house nearby…”
There was no need for him to say more. Li Zewen immediately understood what Wang Yan meant.
He was speechless, surprised at how rich Wang Yan was. Then, without much hesitation, he give Wang Yan what he wanted.
“Little Wang, don’t worry. I’m in charge of this dormitory building. Moreover, my supervisor has a good impression of you. So unless there’s an extremely special situation where the school management inspects your dormitory, you can just inform me if there’s anything you need.”
Wang Yan cupped his hands with a bright smile. “Aiyo, I do appreciate it… I’m sure we’ll get along quite well in the future.”
The 50,000 yuan had a second use, which was awesome!
Li Zewen was also very happy.
Just from today’s incident, he could see what kind of person Wang Yan was.
To put it bluntly, even the son of the richest man might not have this boldness and maturity when he was 19 years old.
His boldness and strategy of making others do his bidding with money was astounding but not offensive. Instead, the whole process was very comfortable.
This guy was extraordinary.
After today’s incident, Li Zewen was deeply impressed by this new student and willing to be on friendly terms with him.
He just want a little favor, right?
It’s totally within my power.
…
After filling out the form and exchanging cell phone numbers, the two of them said their goodbyes amicably, both happy with the result.
Wang Yan saw that it was still early, so he simply went to the academic affairs office to pay the tuition fees, living expenses, and so on. Then, he received a call from jd.com’s delivery guy and slowly walked back to his dormitory.
On the way, he gave Li Zewen a call, and Li Zewen said that he would be there immediately.
After climbing up to the third floor, he was covered in sweat again. Wang Yan was stunned to find that there was actually a group of people standing outside the door of his dormitory.
The students and parents blocking the door were talking and pointing. A middle-aged woman was even jumping and cursing.
“Why does my son have to live in a room without air-conditioning? Where’s the person in charge? Come out and give me an explanation!”
The worker who had come here to install the air-conditioner was so agitated that his mouth was twitching.
“Ma’am, I’m just an installer. It’s useless to shout at me.”
Wang Yan squeezed in and found that the situation was very delicate.
Song Chen and his sister stood in the room, looking dumbfounded. They looked around and didn’t know what to do.
Behind them, a new boy stood there quite foolishly.
The two installers sat on chairs and looked at the air-conditioner. From time to time, they glanced at their phones.
Wang Shouzhong blocked the door, not letting anyone come in.
Wang Yisong crossed his arms and stood behind Wang Shouzhong. He was arguing with the woman.
“Can you be reasonable? We paid for the air-conditioner. What does it have to do with you? If you want an air-conditioner, pay for it yourself!”
“Didn’t your parents teach you manners? How can you talk to your elders in this way? Ah? What are your qualities? Are you really a university student? We didn’t pay for it, so what? Come, switch rooms with my son and I’ll pay for the his share!”
The woman’s combat ability was not to be underestimated. Her tongue was very sharp.
Her son was standing beside her. He tried his best to calm her down, but it was to no avail.
Wang Yan was familiar with that stance — there were many women like her in the country.
Recently, President Wang had been staying with the girls from Emperor Dance and had been served by people like Dave and Yu Hao. It was as if he had been living in another world. He had almost forgotten how many disgusting people and things there were in reality.
Sigh, no one congratulated President Wang for solving the air conditioning problem for them. Instead, they came knocking on his door, trying to take advantage of him…
What a joke.
Wang Yan shook his head and walked through the crowd.
Wang Shouzhou immediately heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Wang Yan. His face lit up.
“Brother Wang, you’re back! Sigh, I’ve been so frustrated. I dare not to argue with her…”
Song Chen and Song Xi moved forward at the same time, as if to give Wang Yan their support.
When the woman saw that the main character had finally appeared, her arrogant expression disappeared and she sized up Wang Yan from head to toe.
“Classmate, what connections do you have? Why did the school install an air conditioner for you?”
Obviously, she wasn’t stupid.
Messing around was just a way to curry favor, to give him pressure before the formal negotiation.
Although her words were still not pleasing to the ear, her attitude had softened.
Wang Yisong could not win the argument with her. When he saw Wang Yan, it was as if he had seen his savior. He followed Wang Shouzhong and called him “Brother Wang”.
“Brother Wang, what should we do?”
“What do you mean, what should we do?”
Wang Yan walked into the dormitory slowly and turned his head to glance at the crowd outside the door. His expression was calm.
“Close the door!”
“Ah? Ah!”
Wang Shouzhong was stunned, then he excitedly went to push the door close.
The dormitory door could open up to 150 degrees at most from the inside until it hit the frame of the bed close to the door. Because of the hot weather, they had put a chair against the door to keep it open.
Unwilling to go without any gains, the woman tried to stop Wang Shouzhong from closing the door.
“Hey, why are you closing the door? If you guys didn’t do anything wrong, why would you close the door in broad daylight? I’m just asking what’s going on.”
Wang Yan didn’t move. He didn’t make a sound. He just stared at her… son standing beside her.
There was almost no emotion in hia eyes. He just locked his eyes on the boy’s face.
At this moment, Wang Yan was holding his shoulder bag with his right hand while her left hand was empty. Both of his hands were hanging down his sides casually.
His body was tall and straight, but his shoulders were not hunched.
He stood there silently, like a stone pillar.
There was no expression on his face. A quiet aura oozed from him and could be felt by everyone around him.
Silence comes from water, and the sea is a body of water water.
At this moment, Young Master Wang was as deep as the sea.
The boy did not dare to look Wang Yan in the eye. He only lasted for less than three seconds under Wang Yan’s gaze before he began to pull his mother away from here.
“Mom, stop it!”
The middle-aged woman also realized that something was wrong. She glanced at Wang Yan and her lips moved slightly. In the end, she did not dare to say anything.
She was not afraid of a confrontation, but as Wang Yan kept staring at her son, she felt her hair stand on end.
She withdrew her hand and the door was closed with a bang.
Wang Yan curled the corner of his mouth in disdain and turned to look at the two installers.
“Bros, let’s get to work.”
“Ah?! Ah, okay!”
The two workers were stunned, then they immediately got up and began to unpack the boxes.
Wang Yan walked through the dormitory. He smiled amiably when he passed by Song Chen and Song XI. He nodded when he passed by the new roommate. Then, he pulled open the wardrobe and took out a pack of soft Zhonghua.
He took ou the remaining pack from his bag and handed both packs to the two installers.
“Bros, please install it neatly.”
Seeing the two packs of soft Zhonghua, the workers were overjoyed.
“Why, thank you, thank you!”
“Alright! Please rest assured, we’ll definitely do our best. Not a drop of water will leak from the machine!”
As they began to work, the college freshmen in the dormitory an all looked at Wang Yan in admiration.
However, hearing the discussions and curses outside the door, Song Chen was still a little worried. He asked anxiously, “Wang… Brother Wang, what… should we do with the people outside?”
“Does it have anything to do with us?”
Wang Yan couldn’t help but laugh. He patted the handsome young man’s shoulder and said meaningfully, “Someone will come and deal with it. The air conditioner is not the only thing I’ve paid for today.”
No one in the entire dormitory understood his meaning.
But deep inside, they could not help but feel admiration for him — his handling of today’s incident was f*cking dashing!
This was what a real man should look like!
